Both names and tripcodes are optional. You can choose any name you want, or you can post as anonymous by leaving this field empty.

Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site.
To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.
You can choose anything you want as the key –
it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server.

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes,
such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email

Entering an email is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.
A few of these are sage, which lets you post without bumping a thread, and noko and noko50, which redirect you to the thread or the last 50 posts instead of the main board after you post.

noko and noko50 can be used at the same time as an email address by typing ‹email›#noko.
